Design as you go; then make adjustments

Build, listen, build some more, then listen.....

Schematics get written after the fact. I know of several designers that do this. Of course, not all. I've spoken at length about this with several designers: one interesting fellow talked to me for quite a while about not bending any wires: his amplification products are arranged in a straight line in sections/stages. Do they sound "better," - he thinks so. But, hey, his job is to convince others.

How a person works is up for debate, unless you are there watching. I can tell you about some experiences that I've had hanging out with a couple of manufacturers while they work. But, my point carries more weight when you observe the make-up of the individual components involved. Obviously, Wilson builds their own cabinets. Another speaker manufacturer uses Cardas binding posts. Somebody else uses Hovland capacitors. Not only is it a subjective, artistic, choice of what they're using, but how they apply it, and the topology of which it is integrated.

Cheers,



"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
